Spirit of the Forge?

[Cecelia]

Hey, guys.
I have a question about the Spirit of the Forge NPC. So I crafted my rank 8 chest plate, and the stats are mediocre, to say the least. I wanted to use the Spirit of the Forge to reshape. I entered my piece of gear and the required materials, and the result was even worse stats, so I chose to keep my old ones. Again, I entered my piece of gear and the materials, and the same exact worse stats showed up, making that twice in a row. My question is, if I keep sticking with the old stats, will the same lousy stats come up as a result? Or is it random, and it was bad luck? I just don't want to waste my EC's until I figure this out.
Thanks in advance to all the help.

its the same as reshaping. The stats can get better or get worse only difference is, its safer to use since u can choose to keep new or old.

edit: cant really say its bad luck, its just the chance of gettin good stats or not. just think of it as reshaping alot of people get bad stats over and over again but they could get good stats.

Yep.  It's pure random.  For you to get the same exact stats twice in a row is unheard of though. 

I love that forge.  Too bad there isn't a honing version of it.

the only good thing about that forge, is being able to see what stats you'll get. For me, Its normally junk .-. So goodluck with that.

I ve tried the spirit forge a few times .. I personally feel that the r8 reshape forge has a better chance of giving good stats bcos everytime I try it at spirit forge I end up with lame stats .. but in the same case my friend always uses the spirit forge which gives him better stats .. soo the end point is just that it is pure luck

It is completely random, you still have the same chances for the stats as the normal forge. There is also already a post about this o.o.
